I Just Wonder

I lay in bed at night
and watch the stars
scattered across the
window twinkling and
shining like a
melodic rhyme.
They know what
they're there for
but are they aware
of each other
the one over there
and the one over here?
I wonder.
The distance between
each other is
deceiving as they
seem to conversate
their twinkle star-speak
in the universe.
They know what
they're there for
but do they hear
each other
the one over there
and the one over here?
I wonder.
The sparkling seems
to be a welcome-home
light that has been
left on for you.
They know what
they're there for
but do they see
each other
the one over there
and the one over here?
I wonder.
I sigh as I pull the
blanket up over
my shoulder and I
wonder after the
morning has dimmed
the last sparkle
will they remember
each other
the one over there
and the one over here?
I just wonder.

Oh, yes, indeed!

In my humble opinion, ya done good. I love the way that you personified the stars; your whole perspective presented via your verses. Thank you for sharing this gift. Love and best wishes,

I too, wonder about the skies, stars, moon and sun. If the sun burns out the stars won't shine, great verse to ponder the why, cheers

I wonder too, great pen, Bear!

Love the playfulness of this, Carolyn, with the repetitions! Fabulous sleepy-head ramblings that, as they tend to be, are more acute and philosophically sharp then we usually give them credit for. Sounds to me like you're trying to count them, like sheep. Very engaging and I very much like the confidence with your form. Comforting and comfortable write - sleep well! :)) xx

The stars have a language - we can listen, but not comprehend
The stars can see each other - so they can dance in pairs
The sparkle is for you - embrace it and wonder no more.

Lovely, gentle poem Bear. Patrick

Gentle and searching. I like this. The Bible says that the stars sing. With the proper equipment you can hear some of them sing, all sing a different tune and it is so amazing to experience this. Maybe they do know and try to outshine one another too. Lovely, J'nia

You have reached deep, for you have communicated with them in this beautiful star struck poem , you have become one with them and they with each other at the moment your thoughts reach them, one in communication, but one in unison we are always anyway aren't we, there is no seperateness in the universe. I love this poem, for it is gentle of thought and beauty. Hugs! Jasmin Horst
